Unseen War

[ls317]

Aug. 23, 2005 This is a war the Bush administration does not want Americans to see. From the beginning, the U.S. government has attempted to censor information about the Iraq war, prohibiting photographs of the coffins of U.S. troops returning home and refusing as a matter of policy to keep track of the number of Iraqis who have been killed. President Bush has yet to attend a single funeral of a soldier killed in Iraq.

1. So what if the media is controlled by the big giant head?

What is being preached about war in our houses of worship? Why are people who go to church for example more likely to be pro war? (recent article in DU yesterday...I don't know where...) How do the words of so many profits espousing peace get used to cheer lead war?
Why isn't the planet generally disdainful of war?
Oh, I am aware of the reasons. I know the cynical truth about it all. I've been around the block as they say.
But you know what? I hope no one no matter how jaded or cynical or experienced in the ways of the world stops asking these questions now and then. Or all is lost.
